Hey what up all, I was trying to find a sticky on this but could not. My girl was driving my 92 SE 5 speed. She was going up a hill and she says the clutch just stuck to da floor. She couldn't swicth gears or anything. Mechanic said that the clucth will need to be replaced... Shyt!! Can anybody verify this???? Pls help!!

 

Could be a bad master cylinder or leaking clutch hose.

 

.... Hmmm Interesting!! There was some fluid leaking. She was able to drive it back to where she was going, so I'll have to check it out. But she said it was some brownish fluid. Where is the clutch resovour? It's on the drivers side right?

 

More than likely it is a bad master cylinder. You can get the repair kit from your local parts store for under $20 and do it yourself in an hour if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. The master cylinder/reservour is on the firewall directly in front of the clutch pedal.

 

Hopefully it's only the slave cylinder. I've had alot of bad luck with 5 of them now. The very first time my pedal dropped I shattered my throw out bearing.

 

my money is on clutch slave or master cylinder failure

 

sounds like a slave issue a similar instance happened to me... pedal went to floor and i had to use my hand to get it bak up looked under hood traced leak right to the slave

 

never let a woman drive your car thats the first thing that is wrong.





haha its a joke not to be taken literally.

 

this summer the same thing happened to me 3 times,on my talon tsi.. one time the upper master,and two time the lower one.. and the first time it was not funny.. the lower one is in the car so it blow out.. oil on my feet and on the pedals.. i had to brake because of some moron in front and it was so hard to keep my foot on the brake, it was to slipery..

 

My wife complains of that at least every other month, but I drive it all the time and nothing

 

i had the same thing happen to me about 2 months ago my slave went bad pedal was very low alomst to floor, was leaking clutch fluid if you look at the clutch pedal near the fire wall see if there is a leak?

 

LOL...It's all good man. That is funny though!!! Shyt something always come back wrong with my baby when she drives it!! lol

 

Yo good shyt ya'll. It was the clutch cylinder. She was busted up, leaking everywhere. Me and my manz handled that though!! Good looking out ya'll!!!!

 

Just include a leaky clutch line and cover 100% of the bases.

 

true, but it's rarely the case (at least in my opinion)

 

Go SS clutch line...It looks cool

 

Thats what you think.

My max had a clutch hose start to leak.

I was replacing it last weekend, but it got way tooo cold.. should finish it tomm

the bolts are a pita to get to.. damn engineers couldnt make a recess in the block so it would be easier? grrrrrrr

 

You said she was able to drive the car after this incident? Your clutch is fine. If you needed a new clutch, you wouldn't have been going anywhere.

I would check into your master cylinder, and all other mentioned possible failures... And not let ANYONE drive it. Male, female, whatever. Only I know everything that's wrong or could potentially be wrong with my car. Driving it without taking some of those things into consideration will surely screw other stuff up

 

master (on the firewall/pedal) or slave (on the transmission)?



probably slave

 

Slave!..........................

 

sorry mr gone is correct my master went was leaking at the pedal on the inside by firewall!! sorry about that
